A fair analysis of the statement mailo hy Mr. Talbot and published in yenter day Astoria n, in regard to th Tilln niook extension of the A. v., allowing for a!) possible reservations one in hi official capacity would be disposed to make in so lnrjje a matter, leave resiilium of certainty that the road will le limit, that U ineontrovertilile. The fact that two route will be surveved but puts the issue upon a hypothec merely of deterniininif which profile will le chosen for the active work of eon it ruction. It ha been known here for years, that either the coast line around Xecaniie Mountain, or the route throng the Xehalem Valley, i practicable, ami present no engineering difficulties that are insurmountable; so the matter will resolve itself to the simple ascertain ment of the most practicable and least costly, and renders the issue of actual construction of the road beyond further doubt. This is the desirable conclusion. and having reached it, nothing is left the Astorian and the Tillamookian but to work unceasingly for the generous largess accruing from the simple and substantial fact that the TILLAMOOK EXTEXSIOM WILL BE BUILT FORTH WITH! WEATHER, Eastern Oregon and Washing- ton Fair. Western Washington Showers ! NOTICE IS HEREBY TAKEN. "Portland's anxiety, as to commerce, bas its sources far more in the state of the river and bar below Astoria than in the river between Portland and As toria. Daily Astorian please copy." Oregonian. ' Yes, the Astorian takes notice! It has been taking notice of Portland's over weening and proverbial interest in the Columbia river bar for lo these many years; and among other things it has noticed Portland's frenzied and ceaseless efforts in behalf of the multitude of projects to open the upper Columbia and the Willamette, and every other channel in the broad state that led to Portland. while, through all the years the untold millions of the country have been lav ished on plans and schemes to enhance the commercial prestige of the metrop olis, the QjfE GREAT GATE-WAY OF THE STATE OF OREGOX IS STILL BARRED, by the deliberate inefficacy of a jetty system, contrived, also, in the interest of that one city. Oh, yes, we are taking due notice and remember ing all that Portland has done, and tho sophistical stuff put out at seasonable intervals by the Portland press, led by the Oregonian, to bluff and bamboozle the ordinary and unthinking reader. The one unmitigated horror of Portland is a forty-foot bar at the mouth of this superb highway. Had Portland wanted such a channel on the bar it would have been there years ago; she will keep the working depth on the bar at a corres ponding depth with what she can use in the Columbia river above Tongue Point, and so long as she can help it, there will never will be more on the great sand barrier that stretches across the sea mouth of the river that serves her well with twenty-five feet, but which would paralyze her if she had to maintain ten feet more. She can preach her fool doc trines to communities less intimate with this question than Astoria and look for unwinking credulity, but this city has been too long taking notice of the policies that have been wrought and applied tj the sole and exclusive benefit of Port land, to swallow, without gagging, any fraction of the editorial humbug employed in this behalf. If Portland is honestly and profoundly interested in the state, as her great and prophetic print alleges, why is it that every con ceivable avenue of commerce in the state that leads Portland-ward has had mil lions spent upon it, while the one great highway that leads to them all and would contribute to them all, the me tropolis above all others included, is bottled up absolutely, and the very, and only, plan for its betterment, made un availing as the years and the millions annromiated to it fade awayt W-2 say again, in all justifiable faith, that it is because of Portland's bitter and haunting terror of the rising of some commercial competitor between her and the deep sea, all buncombe and false pleas to the contrary notwithstanding. THE WEATHER MAN. The United States spends about $1,500,000 anually on the science of me leorology. Hundreds of trained observ' ers expend earnest work in this cause, and more real good results therefrom than some folks suppose. Weather pre dictions, as undertaken by Uncle Sam, mean much more than the bare an nouncement that tomorrow will be "rainy" or "fair." Warnings of floods and fronts and storms are given, besides; and many a fruit grower, cranberry cut turist, farmer, stock keeper or mariner, has had good cause to thank the govern ment for the time lines and accuracy of these reports. Let's all stop poking fun at the weather man! He makes mis takes sometimes; but he scores many a bull's-eye hit, too. 0 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 000000000000000000 Did you ever count the words in a column of newspaper? There are over a thousand words in a column. Suppose you sit down and write one thousand words on one subject and another thous and on another till you have written about fifteen thousand words. Try it and see if it is right easy. Keep that gait up for a month. Then chase a local item all over town and after you have secured the facts all right condense them in a ew lines, an hour's work, that can be read in a few seconds. Do this for a dozen items that seem insignificant after they are printed, but which you know are important, then have the items criticised and the inaccuracies pointed out to you when U is too late to cor rect them. Oh, yes, its dead easy to conduct a newspaper, 0 We like to Work and we like to see others work, but we just arise to re mark that when we get to be worth as much money as some we know, work with us -will cease. We could never dis cover why men 60 and 70 years of age who are worth from forty to one hundred thousand dollars should continue to toil, from early until late and in all kinds of weather. WTe like to see a man pro vide smething for their family after they are gone, but the average boy U better off if not left too much property, You who have labored your three score years should stop work, and enjoy life the few short years you have left to re main with us.

A cheap letter head or a poor bill head gives a mighty poor first impression and makes business harder to transact. Good printing costs no more than poor printing. The first im pression is half the battle in business. You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales man; why put up with "sloppy" station ery, that gives a wrong impression of the importance of your business.
